Don’t be afraid of airflow—it’s your best friend. In a drum smoker, small vent adjustments make a big difference. Instead of chasing temps with big swings, think of it like playing guitar: fine-tune it. Crack the intake just a touch, give it a minute, and let the drum do its magic. Pro move: Start with your intakes about ¼ open, let the drum settle, and resist the urge to babysit. A steady drum is a happy drum. Remember—patience and control = championship flavor.
